UHMWPE Face Pad
The main applications of UHMWPE face pads in docks are as follows:
| Application Locations | Functions and Uses |
|---|---|
| Dock fenders | Provides cushioning when ships dock, protecting both the quay and the ship hull, and reducing scratches from friction. |
| Dockyard and ship repair dry dock lining | Prevents damage to the ship's paint when mooring. |
| Ro-Ro terminals and container berths | Withstands repeated friction and impact from frequent ship docking. |
| Protection pads for offshore bridge piers and mooring dolphins | Acts as a buffer to prevent accidental collisions. |
| Protective surfaces for offshore platforms and floating piers | Durable and wear-resistant in seawater environments; allows the ship to slide smoothly with tidal changes. |
